Session Description
Mental health -- or, rather, mental wellness -- remains shrouded in secrecy, stigma, and confusion. It matters to all of us, but few of us want to talk about it. Every one of us brings our mental health (or lack thereof), to work every day. And often, work -- or the workplace -- is the cause of our stuff or at least exacerbates it. In this session, participants will learn why mental wellness at work matters and what they can do about it for themselves, their teams and their organizations.
Learning Objectives
- Establish the importance and urgency of considering mental wellness in the workplace.
- Establish a workplace framework and offer resources for effectively managing mental and emotional difficulties.
- Leave participants with an action planning toolkit they can put to work right away.
